Verse 1
She was just a little girl,
She always held her Mamaâs hand,
She felt so safe and warm, wrapped around her finger,
She grew up in just a minute
She said she knows what itâs about â she let go of Mamaâs hand
Sheâs got it all figured out
Chorus 1
âCause holding hands is for little girls
But holding hands in this great big world is what Mommyâs do best
Holding hands is for little girls
And Mamaâs gotta let her go â Mamaâs gotta let her go
But one day, she knows Iâll understand
That holding hands, is for more
Then little girls
Verse 2
Sheâs at college now
Following her plans
She felt so proud and free, fulfilling her dreams
Sheâd call and talk to Mom
She said sheâs doing fine â and rushed her off the line
Sheâs got it all figured out
(Chorus 1)
Verse 3
Today sheâs
Gettinâ married
And sheâs longing for her Mom
She missed her warm embrace
Itâs written all over her face
That she had been so wrong â She felt it for so long
And I hope youâll understand
Hurtinâ you wasnât part of the plan
Chorus 2
âCause holding hands is how you love me
âCause holding hands in this great big world is what Mommyâs do best
Holding hands â just for you and me
And Mamaâs gotta let her go â Mamaâs gotta let her go
But one day, she knew Iâd understand
That holding hands, is for more
Then little girls
